7.2.0.170329:
- Patch 7.2 update.

7.1.0.161026:
- TOC bump.
- Fixed chat detection since the changes in 7.1
- Added an option to print default messages during raid groups. This is for those that prefer the full loot printout during raids, as they are a bit easier to read and find as the boss dies.
- Added currency max count so it's printed as long the option to show items in bags is selected.
- Fixed an issue with printing 0 XP gained on followers that are maxed out.

7.0.0.160917:
- Added timing options to the interface. You can specify if you wish the reports to be printed during combat, and the interval. Specifying a interval of 0 means instant printing as the message is read in the chat. The default of 2 means it will wait for messages and print out a bunch of messages in one line, each 2 seconds.
- Fixed an issue with icon sizes not adjusting to the selected output chat frame.

7.0.0.160805:
- Fixed an issue where the chat tab title would error if something loaded the interface options too early.
- Fixed linking the minified icons for battle pets.
- When caging a battle pet, the text now turns into its icon instead.
- Fixed hyperlinks when caging a battle pet, and then trying to link it in its icon format.
- Fixed issue where the Combat Log could be disabled, and it made the addon try to read information that isn't there when opening the interface options.
- Added unit tooltips to the combat log. It is enabled in the options interface.
- Fixed a bug where ignoring transmogrification alerts (when adding or removing appearances to the journal) didn't properly show the original messages. If the transmog option is enabled, you can further down, under the Ignore category, select to still show the default chat messages.

7.0.0.160721:
- Added a new interface option to allow you to change the chat frame used by the addon. Chat messages in other frames than the selected one will not be touched by MiniLoot.
- Added missing translations from the options interface.
- If tooltips are enabled, they should now also work for other chat frames, not only the default one.
- Added tooltips when mousing over units in the combatlog.

7.0.0.160716:
- Increased options scroll size for locales using much larger fonts than the English client.
- Improved accuracy in message parsing across all locales. There have been issues with German, Russian, Korean, Chinese, that should now be mostly fixed. What remains to be tweaked are roll based messages, those are still a WIP and being tested for.

7.0.0.160715:
- Added expected results for the general tests, exception to those related to rolling on items. I will add these soon(tm).
- Added better parsing for special cases, like German ordering of format arguments.
- Working on improving the login tests to also check the contents, not just if the tests matched the text or not. This means if there are some issues with the addon, it will warn you at login that there are changes to the game that the addon can't handle. Users can then use this to make a ticket and nudge me to release an update if I don't deliver on time.
- Added safety net, in case errors occur when reporting the loot. It allows users to easily take a screenshot of the error and report it.
- Fixed an issue where linking followers or currency created invalid links (using icons instead of the proper text).
- Improved number detection when parsing messages. Specifically when numbers contained thousand separators or decimals from other locales.

7.0.0.160711:
- Updated the locale file and updated files to use the module and fetch translations. You can help translate the project at http://wow.curseforge.com/addons/miniloot/localization/
- Removed unused config value as the feature wasn't implementable.

I'm not sure why MiniLoot thinks that I should be interested in the mining habits of random people in my vicinity (the person in the last line is not in my party, guild or friendslist)...

And to add to the currency issue: I just unlocked the Molten Front dailies and saw that the Mark of the World Tree currency does have its proper name (and even a lengthy description, could do without that tbh), but not the amount I have at the moment. Haven't checked any other currencies yet, but I will if you need that info.

Originally posted by Baine when i receive justice points, and click on its icon in chat (generated by miniloot) all i get is a pop up saying "abzeichentest 2"
guess that's not the intended behaviour :> (german client here)

I think I have an explanation, the loot system uses alternative currency ID for some loot, so for the tooltips to work (they are clickable, but as if the currency is not the same from your bags) so to show the "max this week" and such I had to get the ID from the chat, convert it to the real currency ID (using Blizzard API) then apply that to the currency icon.

Now what I need to know so I can try it myself is this, where did you get this, did you do a LFD dungeon and killed a boss? A quest delivery? Does this happen only to Justice Points currencies or do other as well show the wrong tooltip?

*Edit*

Tried myself, no weird behavior, JP and other currencies work fine... not sure why you had that experience really.

Curse/Ace repository system, I see the benefits using that, but I know wowinterface also supports repositories. I guess the main reason I keep all my addons here is basically because here is where I feel most at home, so I feel that showing my work here is more rewarding.

I assume that if someone needs addons they look at curse, ace and wowinterface -those are the main sites for addons after all. One issue I see among many is trying to keep all different repositories up to date, and reading feedback requires using various pages and I notice many can't be asked to, so they for example use curse to submit all the small changes and use revisions, then upload a stable version on wowinterface.

That must be the extra feature that shows "Loot" messages, I think it's because of the COMBAT_MISC_INFO flag, you can after using the addon to create a loot window, edit the properties of it (right-click the name of the chat and pick settings), then uncheck "Misc Info" Not really a main feature of the addon so not much to "fix" here, hehe.

*Edit*

Lootcounter now also affects currencies, not to mention I made the addon use the implemented currency tooltips (yes, also affects archaeology icons). This makes them show up like this:
Without lootcount feature enabled, the "(34)"/"(40)" part isn't there.

If you click the icon you get the currency tooltip implemented by Blizzard, standard stuff. Showing weekly max, current, cap limit, all that junk.

The only thing that remains is making the icons linkable, so far it does not work, but I will make it work in future, not really mandatory, hence why I've been taking so long.

Originally posted by Tonyleila Ok this works fine for crafting now but this is what i got when compleating the daily Jewelcrafting quest:
Charname: [Icon] Guild+42 Ihr: 16{coin} 54{coin}

Fixed that too, forgot to change it when fixing the loot issue. Trying to improve the naming problem, no point adding your name in the middle like your example, when your name is already on the front. Also trying to weight so that items come last, reputation and money come before, e.g.

Originally posted by Tonyleila Ok here is the next problem
If you craft items it says just:
Ihr: [icon]
"Ihr" is like "You" and looks wrong without an other word... better woud be just the char name as it's for other loot things or "Ihr stellt her: [Icon]" = "You craft: [icon]".Is it realy saying just "you" in english or is this a translation problem too?

Ok this works fine for crafting now but this is what i got when compleating the daily Jewelcrafting quest:
Charname: [Icon] Guild+42 Ihr: 16{coin} 54{coin}

Archaeology falls under currency, I'd recommend perhaps trying out the tooltip feature to help recognize those easier. The reason I kept the currencies as icons is that we learn what is what eventually, but what I do have to add is the ability to click and re-link currencies (they added this in later patch but I haven't kept up and also added it on MiniLoot, yet).

Just to share with you on a off-topic, for those that read this; I managed to get an item today without it adding my name in front so it had no "receiver" in the chat, it was odd, and I never managed to re-produce this. Anyone else had this happen before? Weird...

Originally posted by Vladinator Did trading gold ever show what you got? I can't remember lol...
Have to check it out by testing without addons and trading someone money, and see what the chat says... if you can, I don't mind if you do it for me because I have no one I can test with, lol.

Lol yep you were right this must have been an addon that shows this - not supportet by blizzard - anyway a good future if you trade tips for enchanting
